36 miles and still here

[procel]

Went out for my first long distance/club ride with the lovely people from Anerley Cycle Club today (found them on here). 36 miles from home to Purley, through some very nice Surrey countryside (incl a ******* of a hill at Chipstead) to Dorking then back to Tadworth via Box Hill (!)

Currently absolutely shattered: surprised I'm still here! But smiling.

Many thanks to them all

hahaha... the first of the FNRttC to Brighton's leg burners...

I quite like Portnalls... had a bit of a crack at it a few weeks ago on a Sunday morning, with a slight tailwind. Although doing it in the dark is quite nice because you don't realise what's coming!

Never watched xfactor anyway Tho I'm sure some do both & good luck to em!

Not sure what hill it was. Looking at google streetview, it might have been How Lane.

Well done on the ride. Where do Anerley Cycle Club ride from?

Ta.

Purley. Slightly different places alternate weeks (Tesco for routes SW; and Shurgard for routes SE).

 

[Sittingduck]

Very good. I thought How Ln sounded familiar, did it on a long ride the other Saturday. Not too bad but does kick up in the middle http://app.strava.com/segments/658536

Our club cycle back via Box hill, along a similar route to the one you mentioned, close to Tadworth, along the Dorking Rd, Kingswood, Chipstead > Coulsden. It's a nice and usually quite brisk ride along that route (prevailing tailwind helps).
